Great job – MAGA crowd launches attack on sports team for, like, unforgivable crime of welcoming everyone

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners, the investment firm that manages the baseball team, are now dealing with an official federal civil rights complaint.

This complaint was filed by America First Legal, a conservative legal group founded by MAGA’s Stephen Miller, who serves as White House Deputy Chief of Staff. The complaint claims that both the Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners are using hiring practices that discriminate based on race and sex, all under the label of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The main focus of the complaint, which was submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), is the accusation that the Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners have broken Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. According to MSNBC, this important law clearly prohibits making employment decisions based on a person’s race, color, sex, or national origin. America First Legal argues that the DEI policies used by these companies, even though they claim to promote fairness, actually lead to illegal separation or categorization of employees and job applicants.

According to the complaint, these policies could unfairly block people from getting jobs, training, or promotions because of their race, gender, or other protected traits. The filing pushes the idea that some DEI programs are discriminatory by nature, even if they use positive-sounding language. This is the kind of thing that got Costco involved in the fight, and McDonald’s to change their policies.

One major issue for America First Legal is the Dodgers’ employee resource groups, which are meant to support and connect Black, Latino, and Asian employees within the organization. The complaint also criticizes the Dodgers for publicly promoting their DEI policies on their website. America First Legal says that having and advertising these policies and groups shows a commitment to illegal employment discrimination. Their letter to the EEOC states that discriminatory DEI policies openly harm employees based on race, sex, and other unchangeable traits.

It presents a conservative viewpoint that certain groups, like straight white men, are being treated unfairly in the name of “diversity” and “equity,” a position they claim the Supreme Court has already rejected. The complaint raises the same concerns about Guggenheim Partners, pointing to its corporate diversity policies and employee groups as evidence.

America First Legal has not just filed a complaint but has also pushed the EEOC to take stronger action by starting a “Commissioner’s Charge.” This process lets the EEOC begin a full investigation into possible violations of federal anti-discrimination laws, even if no private individual has filed a complaint. This request shows how serious the legal group is about forcing a deep and wide-reaching examination of the DEI practices at both the Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners. Their goal is to challenge what they see as a widespread problem, not just a few isolated cases.

Importantly, the complaint does not provide solid proof that these employee programs have actually led to discrimination. Instead, America First Legal’s argument seems to come from a broader conservative belief that DEI initiatives are inherently unfair, especially to white men. This viewpoint suggests that any program meant to help underrepresented groups is seen as harmful to those who aren’t part of those groups, as if helping one group must hurt another. This ideological stance is a big part of the complaint’s foundation, rather than any proven cases of discrimination.
